This place is awesome! I plan to go back tomorrow with friends! -Pet friendly! -This is a order at the counter restaurant -Greeted immediately upon walking in and offered a menu -Cashier was very nice -went and sat down outside and it's beautiful. Lots of tables and lots of areas with games for kids (or adults)! Including cornhole, tic tac toe, checkers. There also a little library full of books (give one, take one) -water was brought to our table as we were sitting down -drinks ordered brought out quickly -I had a custom beverage. I got the Choccy cold brew but switched the cold foam to strawberry and it's delicious -food came not too long after. The pulled pork grilled cheese and garlic fries were amazing! My husband got a salad and loved it. Only problem was they gave tomatoes when he requested for them to be removed but he was ok with moving them out. We also got a potato appetizer with cheese. I can't remember the name of it but it was all SO good. -display window at the register with pastries looked amazing! -they had a little shop with some really neat things. Handmade pottery, local honey, sourdough starter kit to name a few. I honestly can't wait to go back read more

You know a place is popular when the wait time get longer. The Blockhouse in Saint Hedwig is such a place. Known by locals as a family-friendly eatery featuring Breakfast and Linch along with being very good for the price point. Here, you'll find anything from Avocado Toast to Classic Breakfast with Eggs, Fruit and Hash Browns to Bennie's and Chicken Fried Platter. Pancakes and Waffles are also served along with a variety of Bakery treats. The reason for my 3-Stars on this review, is I was looking to just grab something mid-morning on my way home. As I pulled in shortly after 10am on a Sunday I decided to go through their Drive-Thru. I didn't want a full on breakfast but I thought Avocado Toast would be easy & quick enough. It was about 5 minutes for the 3rd car in front of me to get their order, then another 8 minutes for the next car to place their order. Eventually, a young woman came at took the order of the truck in front of me, then mine and the two people behind me. I placed my order at 10:14 (according to the receipt) and began waiting, waiting waiting some more. About this time sitting in my convertible on a humid August morning wasn't so fun anymore. Eventually, I got up to the window where - you guessed it - waited some more. I was eventually told to pull up ahead to the right next to one of the three numbered spaces and my food will be brought out. Perhaps they saw me starting to burn like a French Fry. I waited at least another 5-minutes or so, then, around 10:35, a nicely stapled bag arrived with my Avocado Toast neatly packaged inside. The woman who brought my food did apologize for the wait which came off as a bit insincere as she quickly walked off. I uttered, thanks I won't be doing drive again. Às she turned to say excuse me!? I simply told her I waited a really long time just for Avocado Toast. So, what are some take-aways here? First, it might be a good idea for the Blockhouse to limit drive thru order to only items from their Bakery Case. Yes, this means I would not be able to get Avocado Toast but, with their other Bakery selections - I would find something I would like. Second, an awning over the driveway at the window would be nice as well. And third, I should realize the weekend is not the time for a quick bite at the Blockhouse. This place is much better if you take the time to slow your roll and relax because the food is really this good. read more

Food was flavorful and for the price there was a lot of food. Love that they had biscuits for our fur babies for purchase. The restaurant was really busy but they were very attentive to the customers. Within a couple of minutes three different workers asked if I had been helped. You can sit inside or outside. A drive-through is available. I was able to order online. Process was easy. read more

Wow! This is a very popular place. Arrived around noon on a Saturday and almost every table was full. There were about 12 people waiting in line to place an order so I figured food must be great. This cute little country cafe serves up hot and fresh food in a cozy environment. Service is friendly and quick. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend. read more

The food was superb! The coffee was awesome! And the staff was sharp and quick. Walking in, it can feel a little overwhelming by seeing a line to place an order, but the line moves quick and it is worth the wait. There are so many things to try on this menu and as this is our first time, we can't wait to go back again. We sat in the outside portion and the vibe was super laid back and peaceful with great views of the countryside! This place is a hidden gem! read more

I've heard this place gets crazy packed so I went on a Saturday at 9 AM and luckily there weren't many people yet. I tried the breakfast egg rolls which were perfectly crispy and so flavorful. The salsa they come with isn't spicy but has more of a tangy taste. It was delicious. I tried their jalapeño chicken and waffles as my entree and again the chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy. The jalapeño wasn't overpowering so there wasn't an issue with spice. I also tried their cold brew with SF vanilla and oat milk. The coffee was incredible. I thought their prices were appropriate. They also have a drive through and pastries to choose from. Restrooms were clean and fully stocked with toilet paper. The restaurant itself was clean and not crowded. Can't wait to try something else! Would recommend this place to anyone. read more

food was great, we had their burgar, cubano sandwitch, & a chicken wrap, for apatizers we the Patato barrols, real good , their dipping souce was a little bland, the free refills on drinks was nice and the 'to go' drinks were nice, If i were to add a ' change' i'd say table ordering would be nice becuse of where the entrence door is & the cash register, you have to stand in line as people come in & go out , it's too busy right there. and old people need to sit down, but - the outside eating area & play ground for kids is great. Overall i'd go back and try more idems on their menue, read more

Blockhouse - patato barrols - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Hedwig, Texas

Got together with family for breakfast. I was a first timer. Loved it! You order when you walk in. They have a breakfast menu, brunch and lunch menu. They also serve coffees both iced and hot with lots of flavors as well as matcha and teas. I had an iced cinnamon roll latte. So good! I also had the breakfast classic which included eggs, ham, potatoes and small pancakes. Also very good! They have seating both inside and outside. The inside is a little small but they have plenty of tables outside along side swinging benches and games such as a large connect four and cornhole boards. Service was great! We didn't have a specific server but everyone was attentive and helped us throughout our time dining there. read more

I had the pancakes, my daughter had the waffles. Service was great. Food was awesome. Serving sizes plentiful!

the food here is amazing. the only downside of this place is the drive thru, if you place an order on online just prepare for 40 minute plus wait as people place orders in the drive thru which causes delay. a recommendation to the owners of the blockhouse, make the drive thru pick up only. read more

My first time here, my girlfriend's sick and time here 100% recommended authentic country food from the farm to your plate if you've never had eggs from the farm before this is the perfect way for you to experience authentic southern homemade food!

Food is incredibly delicious! The ambience of the interior is good but the outside view is outstanding. This is a must for anyone who wants great service and just something a little different on the outskirts of San Antonio. read more

We tried this place out on a whim after Sunday service and it was PACKED! Don't let the long line deter you; it moved quickly and we were able to find a table outside with a lovely view of the country side. Our food was delivered to our table in a very timely manner and everything was delicious. I got a matcha lemonade and my food was awesome! (Avocado toast + key lime waffles *to share*) ... My husband's meal (brisket hash) was good but he definitely said my choices won. Check it out if you're in St. Hedwig! This was our first great dining experience outside of the city. read more

Have been customers of the Blockhouse for years. Noticed today that while the prices remain steady, the serving sizes have gotten much smaller. The size of a latte cup has shrunk. See photo. Biscuits and gravy don't have enough gravy. When we asked for more, we were charged for a side. Omelette size has also shrunk! Disappointed in the recent changes. $60 for three small meals. Ouch! read more

Blockhouse - Tiny coffee, big price. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Hedwig, Texas

Great way to start 2025. My first time to St Hedwig and this adorable place, but definitely not my last. We started with lemon blueberry bread, because breakfast should always have an appetizer. It was perfection on its own, but even better with coffee. I got the huge breakfast sandwich, which was served on a sturdy toast with thick, crispy bacon, cheese, and an egg that broke when I cut into it; so, so delicious! I also got the brisket hash to go for my folks who raved about it. The service was amazing, always someone asking if we needed anything. Can't wait to try their lunch out in the back! read more

What a hidden gem of yumminess right here in our local area! This reminded us of pure hospitality and southern home cooking. We happened to go on a very busy Sunday and were amazed how quickly we were served. As you'll see by the pictures, everything was cooked to perfection--eggs benedict and chicken fried steak with gravy and eggs. All the seasonings were spot on for great flavor and the attentive staff and owners were a breath of fresh air....such a comfortable atmosphere. The cappuccino was tasty and I loved the water served in a bottle. Fresh flowers on the tables added a special touch. Don't miss going for brunch...seating inside and out. Thank ya'll for such a great place read more

I was told about this place thru a mutual friend. Maria and decided to go and check it out. I also invited my family, cause they are lasting we don't invite them. We got to this restaurant and noticed they have plenty of parking and a drive thru. They have two entrances, front and back. The back has a patio, which is nice. Games and a swing to chill on. The back patio has about 6-8 tables. Once you get in, you'll have to go to the counter to grab a menu and place your order there. The line does get long sometimes. After you order and pay, you'll get a number, find a table and the employees will bring your drinks and food. I got the brisket hash with two eggs on top. A London fog tea. Very delicious. Maria got the classic breakfast, scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes and a biscuit. Also a coffee. We've been here twice now, and will continue to come. We want to come for lunch one day. Service is great, plenty of employees around cleaning and asking if we are good. read more

Amazing customer service, atmosphere & food! We went Saturday morning and despite the long line to order, it moved fairly quickly-- gave us enough time to choose what we wanted to order.

Cute brunch spot tucked away in the country. As soon as we pulled up all I could smell was warm maple syrup. The smell obviously influenced my choice that morning as I got the pecan pancakes. Every one at our table lived their meal. This place is delicious, spacious, and eventful. There is a nice outside seating area as well as tables inside. I can't Waite to come back! read more

Blockhouse - Pecan pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Hedwig, Texas

Let's start with service. No server, you order at the counter and yet they still want a tip for doing nothing but punching buttons on computer. Gimme a break, that's dumb Wait time: way too long seeing we were the only ones in the restaurant. But now i see why there was no one there. Now to the most important. The food. It was horrible. The bacon tasted like it was frozen and microwaved before thawed. I took 2 bites and wasted the rest. My buddy has grilled chicken and scrambled eggs, he said same about his chicken, terrible taste like frozen precooked nastiness. They need to stick to just coffee because food is not their strong point. Won't return. read more

This is a hidden gem on the Eastside of SA.. My daughter and I love to drink coffee and gossip after the gym, after looking for a quiet place where it can also entertain my 9 year old this place came up on my search engine.. This place offers seasonal coffees as well as delicious yet healthy meals. I encourage everyone to try this place if you find yourself on the east central area. P.S it's not a waitress comes and takes your order place, orders are placed first and waiters deliver them.. read more

Blockhouse - Wafflich/Waffle sandwich-delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Hedwig, Texas

When you go inside you're stuck in a tiny area to try to stand, figure out what you want and order. Spent almost $40 and took one bite of everything. The sausage was raw in the middle and had absolutely no flavor or seasoning. Scrambled eggs were rubber. I reached for the salt shaker and put it on my food only to find out it was sugar once I took a bite and turned the shaker around to finally see the label. The Cholula had sat out so long it stunk. The bacon on the egg sandwich was so burnt it was black. There were seven people working in the front and only four tables of customers. There is no reason they can't offer table side waiters and better food. You would think the food would come out hot but it was all cold. I am not a fan of McDonalds but at least the food tastes better. This is a pompous, overpriced, wanna be yuppy type place for people with money to waste not hard working folks. read more

We ordered the brisket hash with cheddar cheese. It was delicious! Great flavor, quick service, quality ingredients. I also got a pecan cinnamon roll and pumpkin snickerdoodle for dessert from the fresh pastry box. YUM! They have a nice variety of hot teas and coffee/lattes. I was intrigued with the starter kits for sourdough and mushrooms. Its a bit off the freeway if your passing through on a roadtrip, but so worth it! And their patio is dog friendly. read more

Absolutely love this place! Found this gem one day driving through the outskirts of 1604. Me and my husband have breakfast here every weekend! Yes! Every weekend! lol we never get tired of the food! They have weekly and daily specials. The food is ALWAYS good! Service is amazing! Restaurant is a little small inside but they do have outdoor seating. Definitely my favorite place in San Antonio! Side note this is also one of the many restaurants I've been to that has both pancakes and waffles! Other places only have one or the other. Thought it was worth a mention since my kids love waffle and love pancakes! read more

Blockhouse - Customize omelet and potatoes that are so crispy yet soft. So delicious! I don't know how they do it! lol - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Hedwig, Texas

There's something special about hole in the wall places in small towns. Whether it is the vibes or the family like atmosphere, this place has such a unique feeling. All of the employees were absolutely wonderful and the service was fast. Unfortunately, I'm not a local but I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who can access it easily. It's places like these that need your support and generosity. Truly the backbones of small towns. But Ezekiel, What would you recommend? The egg sandwich ( do yourself a favor and add the avocado ) And the Trix waffle? It was the star of the show. Thank you Blockhouse family for being so kind and welcoming. read more

We stopped in on a friends suggestion - it's a bit out there in the middle of nowhere, but it was beyond relaxing. It's a calm, serene little breakfast nook with friendly service - great views - and wonderful food. I'm a coffee snob and this coffee was some of the best I've ever had. I got a seasonal chocolate orange one - definitely ask what their seasonal flavors are when you stop in! You order at the front and then sit and they bring it to you. They have bakery items, a kids menu, and even a few other local items for sale (I saw earrings!). Everyone was so friendly and patient despite my kids being ridiculously loud. Definitely check out this place and enjoy the drive / views! read more
